But defense attorneys said that police had no physical evidence against Sanchez in a case built largely on the victim’s testimony and Sanchez’s statement to police that the victim consented to the sex act.

“No one was in that room but the two of them,” Miami-Dade assistant public defender Dan Parker told jurors.

The woman later sued the salon. During the litigation, her attorney learned that another woman had sent an email to the salon complaining about Sanchez’s touching her genitals during a session seven months before his arrest.

A civil judge allowed the salon to keep private the identity of the woman. The business also wanted to shield her name from prosecutors investigating Sanchez.

But Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Thomas Rebull, who presided over Sanchez’s criminal case, last month ordered the salon to give investigators her name — and ultimately, she testified this week against Sanchez.

A third woman with a similar story also came forward to testify against Sanchez. He was not charged in their cases.
